Not only the food is marvellously tasty and fresh, but the staff is nice and smiling, and the young chef always welcoming. If you want to eat good quality fresh fish, in a lovely atmosphere, this is the place to go!

We had a plate of raw seafood with sea urchins, prawns, mussels, oysters... you could really tell that they were top quality by their size and their taste. After that we got an amazing plate of spaghetti ai frutti di mare , the noodles cooked perfectly al dente and a beautifull seafood flavour all through. For lunch the day after we had a seabass cooked in a salt crust. We didn 't expect that much by this kind of cooking, but in the end it blew our socks of. The flesh of the fish kept a perfect consistency and the taste was amazing! This restaurant worth absolutely a stop over during a stay in Puglia.

The appetizers even included excellent sushi. The cake was exquisite. They even allowed our little furry friend to come in. The staff was impeccable, always available, courteous, and attentive to our every request. They fulfilled all my wishes and those of our fellow diners. The restaurant was perfectly air-conditioned, with spotless restrooms and plenty of space between tables. The tablecloths were pristine white and the dishes spotlessly clean. No need to worry about leaving; I'll be back many times because Donato and his staff NEVER disappoint. Amazing price!

An outdoor Sunday lunch, a private, clean environment, excellent staff service, excellent food quality, and a fair price. read more An outdoor Sunday lunch, a private, clean environment, excellent staff service, excellent food quality, and a fair price.
